Music (A Course) - W300

The A Course offers a wide range of academic studies (theory and analysis, history, and so on) as well as practical pursuits (performing, composing, conducting) and studies that combine the academic and the practical (orchestration, historical performance practice, etc.).

Music and Sound Recording (B Course) - J931 "Tonmeister"

leading to BMus (Hons)

The Tonmeister programme or B Course is aimed at those who are primarily concerned with the theory and practice of sound recording, but who also wish to develop their musical knowledge. By balancing the academic study of both music and sound recording with the operational and practical aspects of each, we have formed a blend that is unique in the British university system. The integrated Professional Training period will provide you with first-hand experience of working in pro-audio.

leading to BMus (Hons)

The C Course offers a similar wide range of academic studies as the A Course but focuses more on vocational studies, including the third year on professional placement.
